Al-Mulk (Arabic: الملك, lit. 'the Dominion', 'the Kingdom') is the first chapter of the Qayyūm al-Asmā[1] comprising 42 verses just as the rest of the chapters of the book. In the Qayyūm al-Asmā, Surah Al-Mulk is the only chapter that does not begin with a verse from Surah Yusuf.[2] The chapter also shares its name with sixty-seventh chapter of the Quran, Al-Mulk.[3]
History
[edit]According to some Bahā'ī sources, Al-Mulk was revealed to Bab during his encounter with the young Shaykhī Mullā Ḥusayn Bushrū'ī in his house in Shiraz. This occurred on the evening of the 5th Jumada Al-Awwal 1260 in the Islamic calendar, or May 22nd 1844 in the Gregorian calendar. This chapter was titled Al-Mulk by the Báb himself as the word occurs several times within the chapter.[4]
